TAINTED PARTY DRUG KILLS TWO

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Two teen-agers died after buying what police said may
have been a bad batch of the hallucinogenic party drug Ecstasy.

The 17-year-olds died Sunday and Monday.

The cause of death had not been determined, but Police Director Walter
Crews said both had bought the illegal drug.

"What we don't want to happen is when night falls in Memphis, Tenn., this
evening, young people in our city go out and purchase some of this compound
and find themselves in the same state as these other two," Crews said.

Police said the teen-agers did not know each other and their drug purchases
were made separately.
